That is why third party add-ons have become required for usability since Win8. Classic shell or Startallback removes all the bullshit "improvements" and makes the system work smoothly.
The only issue I run into is the occasional "Use Edge" bullshit they push out. It's more of an annoyance than anything else.
MS is not the only one with the shenanigans. Every tech company is pushing garbage on their customers.
I swear I spend way too much time disabling the shit that the companies want me to use, so I can use the stuff I do.
I disagree, I haven't had to use any third party-add ons in Windows 10. And once Win 11 brings back the option to not minimise my task bar buttons I think I'll be happy to switch. It was dumb to remove so many options in the first place though.
